Anybody see a map or app of haunted locations you could track ones you have been to? Like Strava for haunted spots haha?

My sister and I were manipulated to buy a house, in July, long story that I won’t go into.

We’re in the process of moving in, it’s just down the street from my current house.

At the signing at the real estate office, after we’d signed everything, the seller said, with a sheepish look on her face, “do you have to disclose if a house is haunted or had a murder in it?”.

The real estate agent said no and my nervous sister just started blathering about Amityville and nothing further was discussed about why the woman asked that.

But it’s been bothering me.

I looked up records online about who lived there, the house was built in 1950 but the records place online only goes back as far as 1980 and they said I have to go to a department of records in my county to find out anything before that.

We noticed the woman (who had lived there for 20 years but was in a big hurry to leave, supposedly because she didn’t like neighbors….), didn’t use the front bedroom as a bedroom nor did her son and his wife but rather they used the bedroom as a “gym” and him and his wife used the finished cellar as a bedroom while the mother made the attic into her bedroom and bathroom.

She also built an addition on the back of the house as a “living room”, so we’re wondering why she needed two living rooms (the son, wife and little girl used the basement as a living room). Was she avoiding the original living room?

I’ve been there by myself at night unpacking, it’s a bit unnerving but it could just be being in an unfurnished house at night alone.

I emailed her asking about the comment at the real estate office this afternoon but haven’t gotten a reply yet.

We plan to move in by spring but if a murder did occur there, we would not want to live there, haunted or not, and would sell.

Do you think I have good reason to be worried?

Hello!

My birthday is next week, and last year I took a really lovely solo road trip to Point Pleasant WV, and then I stopped at the Moonville bridge on my way home (I used to live in central ohio). I now live in the Cleveland area and want to do something similar.

What are some good suggestions for haunted places to visit within a 2-3 hour driving range from Cleveland, with similar vibes? Ideally a small town/out in nature/etc. also I have already visited the Mansfield reformatory.

Thank you!

Hello! New to this one, but I had to find somewhere to post the insanity that has been going on again.

My husband and I bought our house in 2022. When we moved in, our kids were 2 (m) and 3 (f). To preface, I always dream of my deceased relatives and know it’s them. But, before we had closed on this house, I had a dream that my house was being haunted by this older woman. I ignored the dream and never told anyone.

Flash forward, we move in. My daughter is walking through the kitchen pointing up at the walls saying “Hi Theresa!” And giggling. Were like who tf is Theresa? We didn’t know anyone named Theresa. I don’t think she’s ever heard this name. This continues. Then, a night or so after that, I wake up in the middle of the night and see this woman in a nightgown standing next to my bed looking out the window. I close my eyes and open again and she’s gone. I am freaked out and start texting my aunt. My aunt looks up the property records and the original owners from 1900, Theresa and (I forgot the man’s name).

Following this, we have slamming doors and footsteps. It doesn’t feel aggressive though so I sage and move on. This goes on for a while on and off. My tv will also turn on by itself in the middle of the night.

Now, last summer my brother in law was staying with us and sleeping in our guest room downstairs. He claims he was poked very hard in the back while sleeping and had come in to his things thrown all over the room (we weren’t home so couldn’t have been kids). He refuses to go back in and sleeps on the couch. Same thing, sage and move on. To us, Theresa has been a positive spirit we never felt anything negative ever. So we’d just say “oh that’s Theresa” when weird things happen.

How fast forward it’s 2024, we have a 6 yo (f), 4 yo (m), and 4 MONTH old (m). Two nights ago, we are sleeping and I wake up to my hall light being turned on. I eventually get up and walk out to turn it off and hear kid footsteps running downstairs. I thought it was one of the kids, so I go to their rooms to see which one. They’re both asleep! I turn the hall light off and go back to sleep ignoring Theresa again. An hour later, we are woken by my infant son’s bedside bassinet falling over WITH HIM IN IT! Luckily the way it fell, he wasn’t on the grown just kind of sitting up in the bassinet. This thing is metal and very sturdy. Doesn’t just tip over! Then last night I’m downstairs in the spare room. I keep my printer in there and was doing something and I hear my son whisper “Dad!” Over and over again. I finally yell “why are you awake!!” And my husband comes in and is like who are you talking to?? And I realize my son is still asleep in bed. It sounded like he was right outside the door.

Any advice? Thoughts? We have never felt it was negative until the baby’s bassinet tipping and now we are stressed!

History on the house: We live minutes from Gettysburg, PA. Our home was built in 1900. We live directly across the street from a large Catholic Church that Theresa was very involved in.

Hey, so I wasn’t sure where else to post this and if it’s the wrong place I do apologise but I’m looking for some advice because I’m creeped tf out. So I live at home with my mum and brother, I’m a recent university graduate and currently am unemployed so I spend the most time at home out of everyone. Ive said for a few years now I think my house is haunted but there’s never been anything like crazy or reoccurring to confirm it, the first thing that I’d heard was footsteps upstairs, and my mum had said she’d heard them too on a separate occasion, but that was a long time ago. Another occasion with footsteps was during the night a few years ago, they were so loud I thought someone had broken in and so I woke my parents up.

Over the last few weeks I’ve really started to get freaked out though, I feel like things are happening and it could just be my mind running away with itself. The one that REALLY freaked me out though was about 2 weeks ago, I was home alone and I was downstairs on the couch and I heard someone knocking at the back window, I know it wasn’t my mind or something else because my dog jumped up and ran to the front door. I was genuinely scared to look but of course no one was there. Not long before that I was downstairs in the kitchen during the night, I heard a dragging noise in the hallway and I popped my head out the kitchen door. I couldn’t see into the hallway but I could see into the living room where my dog was standing staring into the hallway. When I walked into the hall the hallway cupboard door was completely open (the dragging noise was a jacket on the door).

My dog has also barked at nothing in the hallway before, and not a playful bark but as if to tell us someone was there. He did this at 5am a few weeks ago which he’s never did before.

Tonight about 12am I was leaving my bedroom to fill up my water bottle and I could see the downstairs tv was on and playing a channel. I know for a fact it was off prior to this because I had been downstairs myself and I know I didn’t turn it on because I wasn’t anywhere near the remote. I haven’t left my room since but I’m confident the tv has turned back off as I can no longer hear it, this is something that has never happened before.

I don’t know if it’s a ghost or if it’s my mind taking a bunch of small things and making them out to be a bigger deal than they are, but it’s seriously freaking tf out of me. Hypothetically, if it is a ghost what do I do? How do I get them to leave? I’m assuming an eviction notice won’t work, I have sage but I don’t know how effective it would be? Reality is I’m In here myself 90% of the time and I feel uncomfortable and scared in my home. I’ve spoken to my brother and he says he’s also had the opinion our house is haunted, but it seems like no one but me is experiencing things (apart from my mum with the footsteps years ago) and that’s what’s making me wonder if it’s my mind making things up.

I was just wondering if anyone could offer their opinion on this? TIA 🩷

Okay, so I love going to haunts. None of my friends or family want to go. My question is, am I a weirdo if I go alone? Haha. This is the last weekend and I really want to go.

Does anyone know any extreme haunts in Texas or close enough? Even if not extreme haunts, full contact stuff that is extremely intense.

i want to go to a haunted house today with my man before the halloween season is over and i want to make sure we pick a really good one! we went to fear forest in lordstown and liked it but i wasnt too scared. ive been looking at blood prison at the ohio state reformatory, factory of terror, or the haunted schoolhouse and laboratory in akron. any thoughts?

Haunted demonic story for Halloween. All events were true as I witnessed and felt it myself. To preface I see and attract energies off all kinds and the veil is thinner when I around.

So it’s 2013-15 I was running a pet and nanny service for many years. In 2011 I lost my primary job so the business was my focus. I get a new client call a man with one cat. He prefaced before I came that it was an abandoned house he bought and was fixing up. When I got there he said I was not allowed in any rooms and all doors were closed and don’t go upstairs. He told me the basement was fine as the cat hides down there. when I got to the house it was literally in the middle of a crossroads if pagan people understand what that does. It makes the spiritual realm veil much thinner all the time. The cat looks evil and like it started to get mange. Something made me want to leave every time I went. As the relationship with the client blossomed it got heavier and heavier after every visit. As time progressed the cat felt sick to me and getting sicker as it spent time there. This all hit a head in one vacation visit like in two days as I saw the cat once or twice a day. I go there and it’s so heavy my chest felt compressed. I can’t find the cat so I go to the basement. It was 3 sections with a small hallway on one side connecting it all. This day it hit me. I go down there and there’s cat poop in like designs on the floor nearly evenly spaced. I think to myself weird. I see the room in the middle and investigate more I realize there’s only one door and it has padlocked on the front. So ok freaked. Rush feed the cat and leave. I go back next visit can’t find the cat again back to the basement mind you the house now feels like it has its own evil life force at this point I’m in the basement looking for the cat don’t find the cat but hear rumbling upstairs. I rush up because I need to find the cat. I look down the hallway and this door was completely off the hinges and wide open. I go to the end of the hallway and look in the room. I was shocked and still am to this day. Everything in this bedroom is broken in pieces. Everything is stacked in pyramids up against the walls. Gravity would not balance the stuff like that. I had a real heart attack and run away from the house. At this point I had one visit left. I get balls and head there. Cat is missing but never stuck around to find out off to the basement again now after the visit before I’m curious what’s on the room in the back end and trying to see if the cat is there. Get to that section look up at the wall. It’s painted in all deep satanic symbols but these are the real ones and not the internet or fan book kind. I see that and start running I get to the other side and get stopped in my tracks to a tall hooded figure with red eyes. I hear get out loud and clear in the sickest voice I’ve ever heard. I book it out of there and never look back. I wonder often if the guy realized what was painted on the walls and bought it anyway or if he didn’t know or believe. I also think often that demon was living off the life force of the man and cat as the man too was getting sick more often after I started.

This is a warning if you ever see weird symbols written carved or painted have a professional explain what they are. Take the precautions to remove them properly and clear the energy. Also if you go to see a place before you use as a home business please if it feels wrong when you step foot even iffy and not totally welcoming if your not prepared or knowledgeable in energies and how they transfer please leave and don’t look back.

Please Halloween is coming from about yesterday to November 2nd do not go to a cemetery as it’s 100 percent likely you will take a newly attached spirit home with you especially if you take anything at all like a small stone cion blade of grass even. There are types of spirits that live in cemeteries that are not human they are dark but most of the time best to stay there. They eat the energy the dead give off as a dead body if not cremated with give off energy for eternity. It has energy related to all the people good bad and tragic. Also human and demon activity is up this time also. Please stay safe all and hope this story freaked you out good enough for Halloween!

My friend has a home haunted house and is wondering how to make it scarier

https://youtube.com/shorts/vB2MfG1skXg?si=rcSOo2skTbYdqE1n

Any tips or ideas are welcome!

This is in a basement with limited space

My friends have been begging me to go to a haunted house since freshman year of high school, and I’m finally a senior, so I caved. We’re going to Paranoia in Canton, GA.

I’ve always been scared easily and I know I should be worried, but I’m nervous to go. I’ve never watched a true horror movie or a haunted house that wasn’t put together by my neighbors for small children.

The only experience I’ve had with a haunted house was a haunted corn maze in 6th grade; I went to get in line (there was a single scare actor in the queue) where I got so scared I ran away crying. Am I screwed?

So a favorite artist of my Mother's was *Matthew Sweet. "*Known for Girlfriend."

I was saddened to see the news today that he has had a massive stroke. I recalled that he had stayed in a very real and haunted location. But because he was a stone cold Atheist, he played it off as spooky vibes. I do wonder if anyone told him that the play hasso many disturbing hauntings there.

Here it is:

Ghosts are the only thing that seems scary, even though it is clear that they don’t really exist. Scary movies about ghosts—I really like them. Like The Woman in Black, starring Harry Potter, and The Others, with Nicole Kidman. I like real ghost horror stories.

You’ve never played in a haunted venue?

We played in a place that they said was haunted, but not so much for gigs. I lived in the house that has to be the most haunted place, if it was really haunted. Actually, it was around the time I was making Girlfriend, out in Princeton, New Jersey. The house we rented to record in was built in 1780. That place had some weirdness. But I must say again, I don’t believe in ghosts. But I had a lot of weird feelings in that house.

It was right next to a huge state park named Princeton Battlefield State Park where hundreds, if not thousands, of soldiers were killed in a big battle—so theoretically, there would be a lot of haunting there. In our house, there was a back lot thing where they cured meat, and I used it as a little studio. Sometimes, I would be up there and stop the music, and I would hear music downstairs, just like a vague piano, just weird. And then I would go down, thinking that the TV was on, but nothing was on. That was kind of creepy.

https://preview.redd.it/fbklovbfqjwd1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=caa797486d313f90a7b4da2c665f2768964f65ce

A couple of times, while I was working on music, sitting in front of the console, I would feel my chair lift up and down. [Ed. note: At this point in the interview, Matthew Sweet got up and lifted Anna’s chair up and down.] And the first couple of times, I thought it was a cat because I had a cat, but there was never anything there.

And then, upstairs, I had the feeling there was a woman standing in the stairwell. I never saw anything, just had a feeling. That would creep me out when I had to go to the bathroom in the night. Later on, we ended up going up in the attic, and we found all these old newspapers and Princeton class stuff. There was a woman who lived there all of her life. She was a professor in bovine study at Princeton University, so that was kind of creepy because, after thinking there was a woman standing there, there was indeed a woman who had lived in the house.

And there was a guy who lived in the house just before us who froze to death in the backyard. The last incident we had there, I was sitting with my then-girlfriend, who is now my wife, the girlfriend from Girlfriend, and it was late at night, probably 2 or 3 AM, and we were chatting and smoking a joint. I had the joint in one hand and a match in the other hand. And while we were talking, the match lit. And that was by far the craziest thing. But who knows, maybe I hit it a certain way. I just can’t really believe it. But I like the idea. Maybe there is some kind of psychic energy that lasts.

But I am a very godless person, so I kind of think that after death, this is it, you know?

I’ve been to a few haunted houses and have been disappointed. I LOVE being scared at haunted houses and don’t mind traveling a little bit. I just don’t want to travel and wait in a long line for a bad experience. Anyone have any suggestions?

so me and a few of my buddies are wanting to do a haunted house this weekend and i just had the question which one would be more fun and scary a real haunted place like waverly hills or a haunted house like the haunted hotel i know they would both be completely different experiences and im just wondering what everyone else thinks any suggestions for haunted houses in kentucky are appreciated to

I’m helping out with a local haunted house, specifically themed like nuclear disaster/Fallout. Never really done this before, and I haven’t acted since an elementary school play. Really just helping out since very few people signed up, but I’m still nervous. Any advice for a first time scarer?

Edit: the old man definitely died in my home in 2016, I found his obituary

Hi all, I bought a home 3 years ago. It was built in 1999. A neighbor told me that the previous owner (an old man) died. Unsure if it was at my house. But occasionally in my peripheral vision I see things get knocked over. Sometimes a garage light turns on & the indoor garage door is cracked open. I'm mainly freaked out at night. Sleep deprived with a baby. Is there anyway I can figure out if my house is haunted? Or if someone died here? I'd feel more comforted with an answer. Thank you!

Hello! I recently joined my first haunted house and they changed my role. I am supposed to act insane and tell everyone not to trust the escape route that other people are saying is safe. The person they're running from tends to skin people and wear it, eat them, or do science experiments on them. I am in a cage, something I use my finger and say "come here, come here, I need to tell you something" or "listen to me it's a trap it's a set up, the bunker isn't safe" or if they aren't listening I bang against the cage and say "look at me when I'm talking to you" or that "I'm stuck in the cage being starved so my skin is nice and loose, making it easier to skin me".

I want more things I can use to scare people or freak them out. There's no way to get a jump scare and they stay in a line surrounding my cage waiting to go into the safe house (I am right that it's a trap).

Thank you for all your suggestions!

Im looking for a haunted house in upstate NY (or anywhere in NY outside NYC) where the actors are allowed to touch you. I went to “13th Hour Rising” haunted hayride, and it was the best haunt I’ve been to. The actors were very interactive, and are allowed to touch you. I feel more scared when they actually touch me, so I’m looking for another one near by! Please let me know if anyone else knows of one, thank you!!!! r/hauntedhouses r/upstateny

So I never thought I'd be subject to one or more of these happenings. Loved reading them and listening to podcasts to get through work but never envisaged anything "happening" to me. My partner and I live in a house built in 1860, that's not old by UK standards but I do always joke that when we got it I was disappointed it didn't come with ghosts, and none of our neighbours 'had' them either. We've been here 2 years and we're about to move to the former home of an old lady who's passed. I mention this because... as we lay awake in bed one night, I couldn't sleep and I was just about to ask my partner if he minded me turning on my phone to read my kindle with the bright lights and all, but I was proceeded by a woman's voice who said my daughters name. My daughters name is incredibly rare, 2 syllabuls. You'd have more chance winning a small lottery than guessing it. So we both sit bolt upright like what the f**** is going on?! He investigates and she's asleep in her room. We Starr going over scenarios, was it somehow my laptop speaker, we don't have alexa or voice activated anything but could some device we'd forgotten about "gone off". Nothing. Her voice wasn't creepy like a hiss or whisper, but it was an unmistakable female and I have no idea what she/it was or why she/it decided to say it at 1am one night last week.

I used to live in this house.We only last like 5 month,they felt like years.I don’t want people to go live in this house anymore.I saw that the owner sell it,Im concerned.This house is a curse.It’s not just a ghost it’s demon.Its been years and it still affect me to this day.Family member as died because of it.The house has burned herself 3 years ago.They rebuild it.Now it’s selling.If someone buy it ill contact them.They need to be warned about this hell pit house.

Hey y'all, In the autumn of 1912 Mrs. H and her family's Washington DC townhouse burned to the ground, leaving them desperate to find a fully furnished home as the cold weather set in and the housing market dried up for the season. But their new Victorian house in Washington D.C. would soon become a nightmare. Mysterious footsteps, eerie visions, and chilling ghostly disturbances haunted the family as they and their staff slowly grew ill, weak, and increasingly unnerved. Was it a haunting, or something even more sinister at play?

I enjoyed this story so much and after not finding many tellings of it, I made a video telling what happened. Feel free to watch as I unravel the terrifying events that left the H. family questioning their sanity—until they discovered the real cause lurking within the walls of their home.

Feel free to watch it Here

And feel free to share any thoughts/feedback. I had a lot of fun making it and learned a lot for doing a spooky video in the future. Hope you enjoy the story.

I only have one friend who likes to go to them and his schedule is terrible. He has no weekends off this entire month. I really want to go, I love haunted houses, but I don’t want to beg somebody who hates them to accompany me. I feel like it would be weird and I’d have to end up in a group with strangers would wouldn’t want a random girl in their group. :(

What are the haunted places you have stayed at? Lousiana Poche Plantation was pretty scary. Notice the huge orbs.

I am from Lynchburg and am looking for the scariest haunted house. I do not care how far I have to drive. I have done Scaremare and was not scared even once, even at any of the jump scares. Would like to find something truly scary. Thanks!

Edit: I have heard Darkwood Manor and Hexed Haunted Attractions are good. Any insight?

Hello! I am planning on doing a haunted halls even in my community, a few friends and I are planning on decorating a hall as somewhat of a haunted toy box kind of thing. We are thinking a swinging yo-yo jump scare, creepy jack in the box and then some others dressed up as porcelain dolls and what not, any helpful ideas or toy related things or costumes that would be creepy and good to add?
